One Login password manager hacked

Posted on June 1, 2017 by admin (Royce)

If you use One Login for your password storage, get ready for a bad weekend. The company announced their services have been hacked.

In an article on Ars Technica, the company said hackers compromised “customer data… including the ability to decypt encrypted data”.

If you have used One Login to save your passwords, you need to go through what you saved with them and change your password for all accounts they have.

On a side rant, using an online password manager is always a bad idea. Sure, it is convenient, but that also makes it a much bigger target for the bad guys. Thousands of unique bank accounts, account passwords and “real world” information like social security numbers and home security codes all in one place? I recommend using a local offline password manager instead.

New research site shows your city and state spending

Posted on May 25, 2017 by admin (Royce)

There’s a new website that lets you check on the demographics, government spending, financial overview, debt, and general information of any city and/or state in the United States.

Head over to cleargov.com and type in any place you want information about. Some locations will have multiple years to choose from and additional information available if you are a government employee.

According to the information on the “about” page, the site was “launched in June of 2015 with the goal of helping average citizens better understand how their tax dollars are spent and how their local government is performing. Our vision is that through better understanding citizens will want to get more involved in their local government and help drive positive change.”

Sorry about the cross posting mess today

Posted on February 11, 2017 by admin (Royce)

My website, Twitter and Facebook went nuts today because I forgot to add a STOP event to a chain of commands for automatic cross-posting on all my social media accounts and an exception rule when replying directly to a specific twitter account.

My sincere apologies. The problem should be fixed now.
